A 1960s apartment in Utrecht's Schaakbuurt
This apartment on Zwanenvechtlaan 114 sits in the Schaakbuurt en omgeving neighbourhood, part of the Noordwest district of Utrecht. Built in 1962, it's a classic example of the area's post-war housing stock. With a living area of 70 m² according to the BAG registration, the last known asking price of €375,000 worked out at €5,357 per m². That was about 23% below the average asking price of €487,000 for homes in this neighbourhood, so it was on the sharp side compared to the local market. For context, apartments in Utrecht typically command a premium. This home has not been online since 2 September 2026.
The home itself
The listing didn't provide details on the layout, number of rooms, or any outdoor space. What is known is that the apartment was built in 1962 and carries an energy label D. The label suggested moderate energy efficiency, so expect reasonable but not minimal energy costs. The home was offered for sale through LEF Makelaars & Taxateurs, and when this home was still on the market, this was the only channel.
